Tariff Truce: A Glimmer of Hope in US China Trade Talks China's announcement that it hopes to agree with the US on lowering import taxes "at an early date" has sparked renewed optimism about a resolution to the ongoing trade war between the world's two largest economies.
This development comes as US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping prepare for their third face to face talks in Washington, scheduled for September 24.
The language of this announcement is cautiously optimistic, but it's worth noting that China has expressed interest in negotiating tariff reductions with the US before.
